With which drinks to serve ermine?

Apple cider – Cider

The slight bitterness of the Camembert apples perfectly underlines it.

Pommeau

Hailing from France, this blend of cider and apple brandy is perfect when the inside of your cheese is runny.

Champagne

It may come as a surprise, but bubbles really work with gooey ermine, especially if it’s baked or grilled.

It is ideal for less ripe ermine.
